California Credit Union Online Privacy Policy

This policy is effective as of March 25, 2014

In the information age, California Credit Union commitment to protect your information and your privacy extends to your online banking. While our privacy policies are the same whether you are online or not, we have extra measures in place to protect your privacy when you bank online with California Credit Union.

1. Are you a visitor?

California Credit Union provides various demos of its financial planning tools designed to help you make financial decisions and choose the products and services that are right for you. For example, our Mortgage Calculator allows you to create various "what if" scenarios to determine your financial needs.

If you do not bank online with California Credit Union, we do not collect, capture, or retain personally identifiable information when you are just browsing and testing these scenarios. By offering you this level of privacy during our demos, we believe you will be more likely to try the "what if" scenarios. This means you may be more likely to find the products and services that fulfill your financial needs and goals.

2. Are you a registered user?

When you initiate an online application for one of our products or services, or register for an online service, our website will request information, such as your email address or your account number. This information allows you to perform certain tasks (for example, correspond with us or review your accounts) and it allows us to provide the information you requested. In these cases, we collect only the information necessary to interact with you. We also gather data to track website usage, such as number of hits, pages visited, and the length of user sessions in order to evaluate the usefulness of our sites.

3. About cookies

Cookies are pieces of data assigned by a web server to the browser on your PC. Cookies help websites to keep track of your preferences and to recognize return visitors. So, when you return to a website you've visited before, your browser gives this data back to the server. Contrary to reports about cookies, cookies do not contain viruses. We do not embed your Social Security number, account number(s) or password in our cookies.

California Credit Union uses cookies to make your online experience with California Credit Union and certain linked Web sites richer and more personalized based on the products and services you have with us. Also, without revealing your identity, cookies help us confirm your identity and help us keep your transactions with us secure when you do your banking online.

We recommend that you complete your online transactions and sign off before surfing to other sites or turning off your PC. We also suggest that you do not surf to other sites during your online banking session.

You can set your browser to reject cookies. If your browser rejects cookies, you may not be able to sign on to your favorite sites or use the features you like most within those sites.

The latest versions of Microsoft and Netscape's browsers allow you to reject cookies automatically. With this feature it may not be necessary for you to set your browser to reject cookies.

Earlier versions of Microsoft or Netscape's browsers may require you to set your browser to reject cookies when you are just browsing and accept cookies when you want to conduct online transactions.

We encourage you to read the privacy policies of the websites you visit before you accept cookies from them.

4. We work to ensure privacy and security during your online sessions

The information you provide to us online is protected by Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. SSL is the leading security protocol for data transfer on the internet. This technology scrambles your account information as it moves between your PC's browser and California Credit Union’s computer systems. When information is scrambled, or encrypted in this way, it becomes nearly impossible for anyone other than California Credit Union to read it. This secure session helps protect the safety and confidentiality of your information when you bank with us online.

5. Protecting children's privacy online

From our websites, we do not knowingly collect or use personal information from children under 13 without obtaining verifiable consent from their parents. We are not responsible for the data collection and use practices of nonaffiliated third parties to which our websites may link.

For more information about the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), visit the FTC website: www.ftc.gov

6. Links to non-California Credit Union sites

We are not responsible for the information collection practices of the non-California Credit Union links you click to from our web pages. We cannot guarantee how these third parties use cookies or whether they place on your computer cookies that may identify you personally. We urge you to review the privacy policies of each of the linked websites you visit — before you provide them with any personally identifiable information.

7. Policy changes

If it is necessary to make changes to our online privacy policies, we will update the California Credit Union Online Privacy Policy with the changes and new effective date.

8. Do Not Track Signals

California Credit Union does not collect personally identifiable information from non members online activities over time or across different Web sites or services.
